Hi everybody and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s topic is a summer freebie and when I think of summer reads, I think romances. Not just any romances, but those romances that also bring all the summer vibes. I did a post on books like this back in 2022, so I thought it’s time for an update with 10 more summer romance books for your summer reading list. Let’s go!
It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey
People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
Just For The Summer by Abby Jimenez
Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett
Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka
Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan
Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood
Never Been Shipped by Alicia Thompson
Tell Me:
Do you love summer romance books? Do you have any more recs?
Well… some of these look super fun and indeed they do seem like they would be great summer-y reads. 🙂 I’ve been seeing Ali’s on lists and even at places like WalMart too, so I’m betting it’s a popular read going into the summer months. 🙂
Thanks Rissi! I’m definitely looking forward to reading Ali’s new book – it indeed seems like it’s going to be a popular one 🙂
It Happened One Summer is still one of my top favorite reads. And I hope to read Problematic Summer Romance too (as soon as I read Not In Love) 😀
It Happened One Summer was such a fun read! I read Not In Love and remember enjoying it, but not that much more – but I think I’m just gonna dive into Problematic Summer Romance anyway 😀
Never Been Shipped has such a cute title.
I do love a good wordplay in a book title 🙂
It Happened One Summer was one of my favorites from a couple years ago! And The Paradise Problem was a great read, too!
I loved both those reads too!
I really need to read Abby Jimenez!
I’ve only read the one book by her, but I loved that one and definitely want to try more!
These give massive summer vibes! I’ve got my eye on a few of them and I hope that I can get to them, whether it’s this summer or at some point this year, lol.
Haha I know, I also tend to get to my summery books in winter sometimes, but then I also love the vibe of reading summery books while it’s cold outside 🙂
Ali’s book is on my TBR! Great recs here Lindsey!
Thanks Sophie! Hope we’ll both love Ali’s new book 🙂
These look good and definitely give off summer vibes. I’ve only read It Happened One Summer. I enjoyed that. I preferred the second one though.
Have a great week!

I also loved the sequel to It Happened One Summer a bit more 🙂 They were both great summer reads though!
They were. They were both 5 star reads for me. Just if I had to pick one then I would choose Hook Line and Sinker 😂
I LOVED STARRY EYES!!! It was actually the book that got me into Jenn Bennett’s books! She’s easily one of my favourite contemporary romance authors! Can always count on her for a good summer read!! I will be checking out the rest of these this summer!! x
Yes to Starry Eyes and Jenn Bennett! Though I still have a few of her books to catch up with, I have loved the ones I did read and agree they’re great summer reads!
I thought I had previously done a post like this as well, but I couldn’t find it. Today I went with covers that give off summer vibes, and all your books could have been on my list! Love the covers.
I do love a summery book cover!
One of these days I’m going to try Starry Eyes. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier.
I hope you’ll love Starry Eyes if you decide to give it a try!
I’m not much of a romance reader, but I did enjoy the one book I’ve read by Christina Lauren. I’d be willing to read more by them.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

If you want to try more romance, I’d definitely recommend Christina Lauren! 🙂
